Hiring managers aren't filtering for who can use AI tools. They're filtering for who's still in control of the codebase after AI writes the code.
Your workflow. Your evals. Your ability to improve the system — not just prompt it.
@ashtilawat (CTO, Gauntlet AI) breaks it down.

It’s hiring partner day 3 of 4 for this cohort at Gauntlet AI.
20 hirers in-house plus some companies dialing in remotely.
Thank you all for being here!
Cohort 6 kicks off July 6th.
The gap between "experimenting with AI" and building with it as second nature doesn't close gradually. It closes in a compressed burst of focused execution.
10 weeks. Full-time. Everything covered. Monday: assignment drops. Friday: you ship. No exceptions.
Engineers who complete the program are landing offers starting at $200K+

Starting Thursday I’m going to be giving a few people tours of Gauntlet AI in downtown Austin.
Anyone who steps in the building gets what the future will look like instantly. An instant sense for what the cutting edge of AI engineering is.
If you’d like to stop by DM me.
Fine-tuning sounds like the answer.
Often it's the wrong first move.
This week's Night School: what fine-tuning actually changes, when it makes sense, and when prompting or stronger evals should come first. Plus, how PEFT and QLoRA make it efficient when you do need it.
Led by Aaron Gallant, Lead Instructor at Gauntlet AI.
Free. One hour. Live Q&A.
Wednesday, June 3, 5 PM CT.

Lots of people have been asking us for a "Gauntlet for sales or customer experience", and we have been listening... Introducing Catalyst Sales and CX.
This program is a hands-on AI productivity training program for sales and customer-facing teams that teaches reps how to use AI workflows, CRM integrations, and automation tools to sell more efficiently, personalize at scale, and manage pipeline faster.
Participants learn practical technical skills like prompt writing, AI-assisted account research, CRM-connected workflows, inbox triage, forecasting analysis, and multi-tool automation across platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, Gmail, Slack, and Google Drive—without needing a technical background.

Speed without system design is just faster technical debt.
Tonight, the Director of Learning at Gauntlet AI is breaking down what separates strong engineers in an AI-first job market.
Free. Live. Tonight at 5 PM CT.

Tomorrow. Night School with Byron Mackay.
AI lets you ship faster. It also lets you ship broken systems faster.
System design is what separates engineers who stay relevant from the ones AI replaces.
Free session. 5pm CT.

Week 4 @gauntletai wrapped up: spent the week hardening Ship, a real-time collaborative workspace.
Ran it through security, performance, and accessibility audits, fixed what surfaced, and deployed, along side Probe, a security scanner that hammers the deployment across auth, websockets, inputs, dependencies, rate limits, and ranks every finding.
One of the things I hear the most is, “I wish I could just send my whole team through Gauntlet.”
NOW YOU CAN!
We’re take entire product squads (Eng + PM + design) and turning them AI-first.
4 wks remote (part-time), 2 onsite in Austin (travel + lodging + food covered)

Every name highlighted in this screenshot is someone whose job is to make a @gauntletai engineer the best.
Lectures. Office hours. Rounds. Hiring partner projects. Mock interviews. All in one day.
When @Austen and I ran the first cohort, it was the two of us running around the room, looking over shoulders and grading assignments ourselves.
Today there's a full team across soft skills, interview prep, system design, and AI technical depth dedicated to making each cohort better than the last.
We're headed toward being the best immersive experience in the world for an engineer upskilling into AI, bar none. Plus, it is completely free for you.
The part that sometimes gets lost: Gauntlet isn't a curriculum you consume. It's an environment.
- Live lectures on things like spec-driven development.
- Office hours over Google Meet when you're stuck.
- Rounds where engineers and alumni walk the floor.
- Project-driven work that pushes the engineer forward.
An ecosystem where you can actually thrive surrounded by people completely immersed in AI and as excited about what's coming as you are.
That's what we're building.
You write the invariant once as a small formal spec. A generator projects it into your real language as guard types the compiler won't let the model violate.
The agent writes ordinary Go (or TS, or whatever). It simply can't construct the unsafe value.

Wed 5pm CT. Live build.
Multi-agent multimedia app on Claude Managed Agents. Anthropic runs the sessions and environments, you ship the UI.
No demo. Real build.
